Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

After a brief period of fluctuation, consciousness reawakened.

As he unconsciously breathed, the icy seawater suddenly rushed into his nose and mouth, instantly clearing Chu Xunfeng's confused mind.

Then, a huge bubble drifted against the ocean current and enveloped the human youth.

He did not leave without gaining Qianlongyuan's recognition.

He practically dismantled the entire Hidden Dragon Abyss with violence, to the point that the proctor had to push him and bring Chu Xunfeng out of the Hidden Dragon Abyss.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Legacy of You

Am I out?

Chu Xunfeng coughed up the seawater from his trachea, gagging as he looked around. It was the dark deep sea, and all he could see when he looked up was a faint glow seeping from the sea surface.

I am...

The young man stood on the sandy seabed, completely isolated from the cold seawater around him. He could see that what enveloped him was a spherical dome with shimmering light.

"Human boy, what's your name?"

A deep, authoritative voice sounded behind Chu Xunfeng.

The young man suddenly turned around, looked behind him, and adopted a guarded posture.

A pair of golden eyes stared at the young man standing on the seabed inside the bubble, and Chu Xunfeng could see his own reflection in those eyes.

"Replying to your question, senior, my name is Chu Xunfeng." The young man's voice was neither humble nor arrogant. "May I ask how the Dragon Gate's inheritance is progressing? My current situation is..."

"You are the last test subject." Those golden eyes approached the bubble, allowing Chu Xunfeng to see the true form of those golden eyes clearly.

Those eyes were indeed those of a real dragon, however... the other party's true form was not a real dragon, but a semi-transparent phantom, the only solid part being those golden eyes, "You have not traversed the Hidden Dragon Abyss."

Chu Xunfeng frowned. Although he had reservations, he ultimately chose to accept the result. "Failure... Oh well."

"Although you have not passed through the Hidden Dragon Abyss, you have not failed. The Hidden Dragon Abyss cannot test your depth, your temperament... is very good. Although the pass is a trial, it is an inanimate object. In order not to let the pearl be tarnished, it is also the meaning of our existence." The phantom of the true dragon suddenly entered the bubble, but its body suddenly shrank, and the phantom became more solid.

"Chu Xunfeng, you are a human, yet you possess the bloodline and supernatural powers of the dragon race. Your character is also exceptional, and the Hidden Dragon Abyss cannot stop you."

Chu Xunfeng remained silent. He understood what the true dragon meant; there seemed to be a chance for things to turn around.

"This time, three members of the aquatic race have received the inheritance, and you will be the fourth." The illusory dragon coiled before Chu Xunfeng. "Are you willing to accept my race's inheritance?"

"Having inherited this legacy, are there any responsibilities to bear?" Chu Xunfeng frowned.

The illusory dragon was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed. The laughter was no longer a majestic sound, but rather like a mixture of dozens of different voices. Chu Xunfeng could even distinguish the female tone.

It's a bit strange, yet it seems perfectly natural.

“Of course not. Your character has been recognized by us. As for the so-called responsibility you speak of…” the illusory dragon laughed, its voice returning to its original tone, “Your character is right here. If something were to happen, would you turn a blind eye?”

"It's hard to say." Chu Xunfeng looked down at his nose and seemed sincere and frank. "If it's beyond my ability, I will really withdraw."

"When the waves crash against you, you realize that you only have two choices: either run away or face them head-on. There is no option to stay out of it."

"We don't believe you'll run away." Seeing that Chu Xunfeng still wanted to say something, the illusory dragon flicked its tail and rose higher, not giving Chu Xunfeng a chance to speak again. The illusory dragon looked down at Chu Xunfeng and said, "I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to accept our inheritance?"

"If what you say is true, senior, then I naturally want to seize every opportunity to improve myself." Chu Xunfeng's expression was calm. "I accept."

"Very good!" The appearance of the true dragon phantom began to change, and its voice also changed to that of a dignified middle-aged man. "Remember my name, my name is Ao Jie. I wield the power of wind and thunder and know the divine ability of moving clouds. With this inheritance, I hope that you, Chu boy, will not tarnish my reputation in the future!"

The azure dragon, its scales and claws transformed, suddenly charged towards Chu Xunfeng.

The young man was almost completely unprepared when the phantom of the azure dragon suddenly rushed towards Chu Xunfeng, piercing his chest and exiting from behind him.

After passing through Chu Xunfeng's body, the illusory shape of the azure dragon disappeared, and it transformed back into the appearance of a real dragon.

Chu Xunfeng's consciousness suddenly went blank. When he came to his senses, he found himself standing on a cloud. The dark sky was glowing with purple light, thunder was booming, and sharp, blade-like gales were passing by. In front of him stood a figure whose body was a mixture of blue and purple.

"My name is Ao Jie. My legacy consists of three sets of visualization techniques, seven sets of ultimate skills, and one set of bloodline supernatural power cultivation methods. Next, I will begin with the 'Wind Sensing Method.' Those who inherit my legacy, please remember this..."

Chu Xunfeng silently watched the figure beside him.

Compared to the illusory image of the Azure Dragon he had seen before, this human figure formed by light gave Chu Xunfeng a very formulaic and rigid feeling. It was probably... just an illusion.

The figure didn't give Chu Xunfeng much time. He began to explain step by step, and Chu Xunfeng quickly focused his attention and listened carefully.

Meanwhile, on the South China Sea.

The strange phenomenon of the Dragon Gate, which was adorned with nine true dragons, suddenly began to become illusory. Four of the true dragons broke away from the magnificent gate tower, let out a resounding dragon roar, and roared as they soared into the sky, disappearing into the dark clouds covering the sea, gradually turning into nothingness and vanishing into this world.

Meanwhile, the remaining five true dragons, clinging to the gateposts above the Dragon Gate, gradually coiled up, eventually shattering the increasingly illusory gate tower and plunging into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

The legacy of Longmen has come to an end.

The four true dragons soared into the sky, signifying that four true dragons left behind the legacy of the Dragon Gate and departed from the Dragon Gate phenomenon.

The five dragons entering the sea signify that the true dragons whose essence can be passed on this time are still five who have not found suitable successors and have returned to the origin of the strange phenomenon, to be selected again in the next inheritance selection.

However, at this moment, on the platform and in the dragon boat formation, almost no one cared about the Dragon Gate's inheritance anymore.

The news of the change in the throne of the demon royal family has gradually spread, and almost everyone's attention has been focused on the altar.

Standing nearly three meters tall, Dang Kang, under the gaze of a thousand people, held up the cub in his hand and said, "The Dragon Clan has sat on the throne for two hundred years, yet has accomplished very little."

"I know that the various demon races harbor resentment towards the dragon race's inaction, yet remain silent!"

"Now! I seek the bloodline of the late emperor!"

"Today! We, the various races of the Demon Realm, have received the mandate of Heaven! We have been granted the Heavenly Mandate! We welcome the return of the Evil-Repelling Demon! We shall honor the Evil-Repelling Demon as our supreme being!"

The sound that echoed throughout the dragon boat formation paused for a moment, then Kang's gaze turned to the gloomy Azure Dragon God, "Ao Yu!"

"Do you acknowledge the bloodline of the former emperor? Are you willing for the Dragon Clan to yield the throne to Bixie?"

Yes, what Kang wanted to do from beginning to end was not to sit on the throne of the royal family.

What he wanted to do was to use the emperor to command the feudal lords.

He is the regent.

Once the dragons step down from their royal positions, Kang and his allies will have plenty of ways to exclude them from the power structure of the Demon Kingdom.

At this moment, almost everyone's attention was focused on the Azure Dragon God.

It was under the watchful eyes of everyone that Serpent Lord Ao Xiu stood up with a smile. He slowly walked to his mother, who was practically standing on the edge of a cliff, and whispered a few words in her ear.

He has seen it.

The legacy of Longmen has come to an end.

Of all the subjects, except for Chu Xunfeng, the rest had been away from the Dragon Gate Phenomenon for half an hour.

Of the test subjects who escaped the trial, only three aquatic beings obtained the Dragon Gate inheritance. However, when the Dragon Gate inheritance ended, four true dragons flew away.

Chu Xunfeng is already on his way with the True Dragon Inheritance.

When Kang brought up the talisman at this point, he ultimately shot himself in the foot.

After listening to the Second Prince's words, Ao Yu remained silent for a few seconds before asking softly, "Xiu'er, how confident are you?"

"Absolutely certain!" Ao Xiu squinted and turned to look at Dang Kang, his sinister expression no different from that of a venomous snake eyeing its prey.

Now that almost everything had settled, he chose to reveal the matter of the exorcism to his mother, entrusting her with a powerful means of counterattack. Ao Xiu truly lived up to the name of the Serpent King.

Kang squinted his eyes.

"Alright." The Azure Dragon Goddess let out a long breath, then turned to look at the confident Dang Kang. "Dang Kang, if you wish to venerate the Evil-Repelling One, my Dragon Clan will naturally have no objection, but!"

Thunder rumbled in the torrential rain.

"The Evil-Repelling Bloodline, is it really something you found?" Azure Dragon God Lord stared intently at Dang Kang.

"Is this evil-repelling bloodline truly so close to you?"

"You'd better think it through before you answer."

Chapter Thirty: The Snake King's Strangulation

Azure Dragon God's somber question echoed throughout the entire dragon boat formation amidst the surging tides, rain, and thunder.

If Kang's aggressive and unfriendly attitude at the beginning was something all the demons had seen, they all noticed it.

Moreover, it brought up the bloodline of the former emperor, and forced the dragon clan to abdicate and yield the throne to a worthy successor...

The scene was already chaotic enough, but when the Azure Dragon God asked the question, the demons looked at each other in bewilderment. From the dragon boat formation, noisy exchanges and arguments drifted toward the altar.

"Ao Yu, what do you mean?" Kang squinted his huge amber eyes and stared at the Azure Dragon God.

“Dang Kang Gong, you know very well in your heart where the evil-repelling weapon you are holding now comes from.” Ao Xiu stood beside his mother, his face bearing a bright smile that was completely out of character for the Snake Lord, his golden eyes brimming with laughter. “Dang Kang Gong, you and I both know what the Rabbit Demon Queya’s family went through.”

Kang's pupils couldn't help but tremble.

The Pixie, who had been obediently held in Dang Kang's arms, heard the name uttered by the Snake Lord. Its ears twitched slightly, and it slowly turned its head, as if it wanted to hear more.

"Besides, you and I both know... where those two little guys are." The Snake King's smile froze on his face as he uttered the words slowly and deliberately.

Kang's expression suddenly changed.

A sudden rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, and a dazzling purple bolt of lightning shot from the heavens into the sea.

Kang felt a slight jolt in his heart after that muffled thunderclap.

As a powerful being in the Absolute Death Realm, the sudden impulse and the feeling he had were definitely not a delusion. He slowly turned his head and looked at the vast South China Sea.
